EYELASH CURLER Filed May 10, 1944 INVENTOR Patented Oct. 29, 1946 UNITED STATES PATE NT oFFlce T 28 Claims.

This invention is concerned with a functionally and structurally improved eyelash curler for advantageously enhancing the appearance of human eyelashes. Most eyelash curlers of the prior art utilize a resilient or rubber pad generally carried by a slidable jaw and the eyelashes to be crimped are initially interposed between a fixed jaw of the curler and the resilient pad which is moved against the fixed jaw to crimp the eyelashes. In some instances; prior to the insertion of the eyelashes into the curler, adjuncts, such as, certain salves, creams or lubricants are utilized to treat or initially process these lashes. These adjuncts have the tendency to adhesively unite the pad to the lower slidable jaw. These adjuncts also have the tendency to harden th resilient pad, thus destroying its effectiveness. Also due to aging the resilient pad in some instances becomes brittle. Because of such processing of the resilient pad, occasionally it is necessary to replace it by a relatively new pad. To this end, where the old pad has become undesirably processed by lubricating adjuncts or hardened due to aging at times it is quite a difficult task to efiectively remove it apart from digging it out of its supporting jaw. Often this operation is tedious and a special tool is needed. In certain instances convenient access to all parts of the processed pad could not be readily had. In other instances where a substituted pad was desired the user relied upon the source of sale or manufacture to make the desired substitution and of course under needless expense. The chief object of the invention is to provide serviceable means in an eyelash curler to permit convenient access to the interior of the pad supporting jaw for readily positioning or withdrawing the pad therefrom. The invention has as another object the provision of bodily and movably guided disconnectable components or complements comprising pad supporting means movable relatively towards and away from a fixed jaw of the eyelash curler. A further object is realized in the provision of complementary components defining a channeled member adapted to be opened or closed in the movement of one of the components away from or towards its companion component. The invention comprehends as a further and important object the provision of a novel resilient pad supporting member in an eyelash curler wherein the supporting member is slidably guided relative to a fixed jaw and wherein a door of the supporting member is swingable to allow convenient insertion of the rubber pad in the supporting member or 2 removal therefrom and wherein novel movably guided latch means is employed for desirably disconnectably locking the swingable door to sustain thepad in a slightly clamped position. Other important objects, features, and advantages will appear from the following detailed specification considered in the light of the accompanying drawing wherein: V

The curler is characterized by a frame F of suitable wire defining upstanding sides or tracks NJ and II integral with the downwardly converging portions l2 merged with spaced flattened portions l3 integral with juxtapositioned extensions 14 merging into loop 15. By this arrangement the lower part of the framecharacterizes a handle or manipulating portion.

Pivotally interposed between the spaced flattenedportions I3 is a crank or ofisetportion generally denoted l6 which comprises juxtapositioned parts 11 of the juxtapositioned extensions 18 which terminate into the loop IS. The juxtapositioned flattened portions ll of the crank 16 are pivotally mounted one. fulcrunrpin'ZO fixedly secured to the flattened portions 13, the arrangement-being such that the extensions l8 and the loop l9 define a lever or manipulator which likewise may be of an appropriate wire and which may be considered pivotally or movably guided relative to the companion handle defined by the -juxtapositionedextensions l4 and loop 15.

Fixedly interposed between the sides or posts 'Hi and H and at the upper portions thereof is thearcuate jaw or bar 2I.' This jaw may-be fixedlyanchoredto-thesides or tracks l and H in any well known manner and may be provided -with aflip 22 forpurposes of rigidity.

Vertically guided on-the tracks or posts'lO and II is the slidable jaw generally designated 23 which characterizes-a casing for removably-hold- 'ing a-resilient pad 24 which may be ofan appropriate rubber. This slidable jaw comprises complementary arcuate rear and front components '25 and 26, the lattercharacterizing a door and the former asupport.

Component 25is providedwithtwo pairs of eye portions or coils defining vertically alined ring s'hapedsockets. For example at one side of component-25 is the pair of vertically alined sockets 21 and 2B and at the other sidethereof is the .pair of vertically alined sockets 29 and 30. Component' 25 which may be said to be a rearwardly disposed wall is of relatively thin sheet metaland the pairs of sockets 2'! and 28, and 29 and 30 are integral with the body thereof as is the forwardly extending .pad positioning flange 3| which with wall 25 characterize a support for the rubber pad as is well appreciated.

Arcuate component 26iis likewise of relatively thinsheet metal stock "and is provided with a bearing 'or-ring tshaped socket 32 adapted to be removably interposed and fitting between the upper. and lower guide sockets orbearings-2-1 and 28: For strengthening purposes component 26 isprovidedwith an outwardly struck out rib or bead 33 and if desired flange 34 may'beprovided and this flange is integral with component 26 and extends rearwardly although interrupted by the ably guided on post ll.

4 recess 35, and component 26 may be considered as a front wall of the slidable jaw.

Integral with and extending laterally of component 26 are the spaced and arcuate lips or keepers 3'! having vertically alined but spaced indented or grooved portions 38 for interlocking with alined lips or detends 39 of the substantially T shaped and biased head 60 having reduced portion M bent out and integral with the ring shaped socket d2 interposed between and guided by ring shaped ears or sockets 29 and 30 slid- Rotatably and slidably guided socket 42 together with its bent out T shapedhead thus characterize a latch for disconnectably interlocking with the resilient and flexible keepers or lugs 31.

Prior to mounting the pad supporting casing 23 on the guide posts or tracks Ill and i the reinforced link 43 is attached to ledge or flange 3i of the rear component or complement 25. This linkis provided with spaced lugs such as. (one only-beingshown in Fig. 1% forpurposes of illustration) positioned in and received by the spaced openings 45 after which the pointed terminals i i thereof are upset, thus firmly-anchoring the upper part of the-offset link d3 'tothe rear complement or-pad support 25-of the slidable jaw 23. r Thereafter socket or bearing 32 of the swingable complement or door 26 is interposed between the alined-sockets 21 and 28 of the rear complement 25 and the latch'broadly-denoted ll characterized by the ring member 42 and head '40 is linedupwith thealined ring shaped sockets or cars 29 and 30 and interposed therebetween.

Subsequently alined ring sockets or bearings 2?, "3-2 and 28 are threadedon guide post or track H) and ring sockets or cars 29, 42 and 33 are threaded on =guide'post or track 5 I. By this arrangement the companion components of the movable jaw are interlocked and bodily and slidably guided by the tracks l0 and H.

But it should be appreciated that bysuch arrangement, component or door 25 is also swiveled, pivotedor hinged, thus permitting its displace- 'ment towards or away from the companion complementary portion or support 25 of'theseparable casing or jaw 23. 'It should also be observed that sockets?! and 28 closely straddle the socket or bearing 32 of the swingable door to prevent wobbling thereof during its rotation while the interrupted flange or ledge 34 facilitates positioning of the door on closing whereby the spaced arcuate keepers 31 are set in alinement with and near the sli'clably guided sockets or cars 29 and 30 to permit the reduced portion 4! of the head ifiof 'therotatable latch 47 to be received in gap '48 whereupon lips 39 coact to cam the spaced lips 3'! towards-ears 29 and 30 and ultimately snap into the alined indents or grooves 38. In other words, latch 41 maybe rotated manually to cam over and'flex the-resilient keepers 31 towards the rotatable sockets to be interlocked therewith, the spaced keepers 31 being normally slightly eccentrically arranged and slightly spaced from the 'sockets'29 and 36. By this arrangement lips 39 when interlocked with the keepers 31 are held in such relation due to the recoil or automatic retraction of keepers-31 after lips 39 snap into grooves 38.

Preparatory'to closing of the swingable door, therubber pad 24 is positioned on the forwardly extending flange or ledge 3| of the arcuate ,rear component or'support 25, the rubber pad'being provided with-the spaced ,notches'49 toolear the upset ends 46 which sustain fixedly link '43 to ledge 3|. If desired spaced prongs 50' (Figs. 4and may be struck out of component 25 to facilitate the retention of the rubber pad after having been positioned onto ledge 3| and it should be noted that when the door 26 1s closed the interrupted portion of rearwardly extending flange 34 defined by recess 35 is adapted to straddle and receive the upper portion of link 43 to permit the door to be disposed against the front face 5! (Fig. 11) of the positioning ledge 3| and slightly clamp the pad 24 against the upstanding wall of the rear complement 25.

Lengthwise of the link 43 is a struck out bead or rib 52 for reinforcing purposes, the link 43 having offset ends 53 and 54 with respect to the intermediate portion 55 thereof and the lower end 54 is provided with the spaced hooks 5B normally in alinement but which may be offset as indicated in Fig. 13 to b conveniently threaded into alined openings 51 (Fig. 1) of the juxtapositioned crank portions I! and thereafter again alined.

With the rear component 25 of the slidable jaw slidably mounted on the guide posts or tracks I!) and H and where the front component or door is swingably and slidably mounted on post Ill, and the upper end of link 53 is fixedly secured to the rear component 25, and where the latch is rotatably mounted on post I l and guided between sockets 29 and 30 and the lower end55 of link 43 has been pivotally connected to juxtapositioned extensions [1. of crank I6, the pivot pin 20 is driven through the flattened portions l3 and the juxtapositioned crank portions ll, thus providing a hinge connection, permittingthe handle defined by loop I9, the extensions l8 and crank 16 to be manipulated to actuate link 43 to bodily displace the slidable jaw 23 on the guide posts l8 and I l.

Pursuant to mounting th slidable jaw on the frame, the fixed jaw or bar 2| may be fastened to the upper portion of the guide posts l0 and II by suitable rivets 58 and where the rubber pad is inserted in the slidable jaw, it may slightly project beyond the upper faces 59 thereof.

In Figs. 1 and 9, the slidable jaw 23 is fully retracted from the stationary bar or fixed jaw 21. In such relation eyelashes such as 69 (Fig. 10) may be positioned between the opened jaws 2| and 23. Thereafter loop I9 is manipulated towards loop l5, causing link 43 to slidably displace the movable jaw 23 to the position illustrated in Figs. 2 and 10. In such relation the jaws may be said to be closed. Further relative movement of the handles or manipulatin portions causes the pad to give slightly, thus crimping the eyelashes as illustrated in Fig, 11 (only one being shown for purposes of illustration). Thereafter loop 59 is manipulated to retract the slidable jaw, permitting the crimped lashes to be withdrawn from the curler.

With the present invention, the pad 24 if worn out by use or decay may be quickly replaced and in this connection the operator merely manipulates head 40 of the rotatable latch 41 to remove lips or detents 39 from indents 38 of the resilient keepers 37, thus unlocking theswingable component or door of the slidable jaw. Subsequently the door may be fully opened, and full access is had to the rubber pad which may be easily removed and a new pad substituted after which the door is closed and looked upon manipulating the head of the rotatable latch to snap over the cam shaped keepers and interlock with the indents or notches 38 thereof.

In the closed relation of the rear and front components 25 and 2'5 these define a channeled member in which the rubber pad isremg wably;

swingable door or pad retainer 26 against the pad support 25 and in effect removably interconnects the latter and the pad retainer while in their clamped relation against the pad to permit their shifting in unison towards or away from the upper fixed jaw.

Various changes may be made in details of construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention or sacrificing any of theadvantages therein.
